John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne, nicknamed the "Prince of Darkness" and the "Godfather of Heavy Metal", was an English singer, songwriter, and media personality. He rose to fame in the 1970s as the lead singer of Black Sabbath, a band he co-founded in 1968. Known for his "shock rock" antics and rebellious persona, Osbourne is widely credited as a pioneer of heavy metal. 

The Ozzman Cometh is a compilation album by British heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne released in 1997. It is his third greatest hits collection. Its initial, limited-edition 2-CD pressing contained five previously unreleased songs. Versions released in 2002 later have only one disc, and the song "Shot in the Dark" is replaced by "Miracle Man". This was due to a legal action brought about by the song's co-writer, Phil Soussan, for unpaid royalties.

The CD Version is Digitally Labeled as The Ozzman Cometh: Greatest Hits. The tracks "Black Sabbath", "War Pigs", "Fairies Wear Boots", and "Behind the Wall of Sleep" are performed by Osbourne's previous band Black Sabbath during a 26 April 1970 performance on the BBC Radio 1 show "John Peel's Sunday Show", conducted by British DJ John Peel. "Fairies Wear Boots" and "War Pigs" are early versions of tracks that would be recorded and released on the band's second album Paranoid with new lyrics.
